​Moyes sends warning to ten Hag about taking Man Utd job

West Ham United boss David Moyes has sent a warning to Ajax boss Erik ten Hag.

The Dutchman is being linked with the Manchester United job from the summer onward.

Several media reports in England and Holland suggest that a deal for ten Hag to take over next season is all but done.

Ex-Man United boss Moyes as some words of wisdom for ten Hag, having experienced the Old Trafford hotseat.

He told theHigh Performance podcast: "Strangely enough, everybody's said 'maybe change' but if there's anything I'd have wanted to do it wouldn't be to change what I did with Sir Alex.

"Interesting because I have a couple of people I speak to, a top, top manager said, 'you have to take your own team', someone else said to me, 'no, you have to keep what's there' so it's really subjective when you get the decision-making.

"My idea was to follow on what Sir Alex done, obviously I wouldn't be the same, he was a legend in how he worked, but I hoped I wouldn't change too much.

"Maybe, in hindsight, I had to change quickly but I think everyone has seen it's going to take a bit of time to get it back to those levels again."
